The Hardy Boyz Reunite On SmackDown Live

Matt Hardy made his surprise return to the ring on SmackDown, teaming with brother Jeff Hardy for the first time in over a year. It was Matt’s first match since September having seemingly (briefly) retired due to injuries before declaring he was not done earlier in the year.

Matt recently said publicly that his contract was coming up for renewal and that he was “not afraid to live outside of WWE’s walls”. As has been the case with several members of the locker room who have contracts expiring shortly, he was brought back into the fold and given an immediate push.
